A 65-year-old man was critically injured in a North Hollywood house fire, Los Angeles fire officials said.
Firefighters responded to the blaze shortly before midnight along the 6500 block of Fulcher Avenue, said LAFD spokesman Devin Gales.
While firefighters doused the flames, they found a man with no pulse inside the home, Gales said. Two veteran fire paramedics were able to resuscitate him, and he was taken by ambulance to Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, Gales said. The man’s condition is unknown, he said.
The fire was extinguished within 10 minutes. The estimated cost of damage to the home is $150,000, Gales said. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
